In the over 70 seasons of NBA and ABA basketball, the hundreds of variations of rules, and the thousands of players, it’s important to—at least theoretically—create a standard period of time in which comparisons between classic players and current players can be reasonably performed. The Early 90s (...

...James has had the most offensive impact, both through total minutes on the court and offensive efficiency. .. More minutes, yes. Where do you get the rest of this? ORtg 121 - Harden 118 - LeBron OBPM 9.7 - Harden 7.6 - LeBron http://bkref.com/tiny/XzIeI ORPM 7.0 - Harden 5.3 - LeBron (after also...

You can pretty much throw stats out the window when discussing MVP. It's primarily narrative driven. There's nothing very compelling about the best player of his generation leading a team to a 42-38 pythag record in the Eastern Conference. Harden will more than likely win this in a landslide. So th...

According to reports I've followed from the sportswriters serving as potential voters on the 2017-18 MVP award, it appears it's down to two players -- James Harden and LeBron James. Harden is the overwhelming favorite due to the advantage he holds with his teams success, the Rockets currently own th...

LINK AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE!!! Each player is ranked according to individually estimated contribution, or Value Share. My original concept of Value Shares is based on linear weights including Rosenbaum's Alternate Win Score. However after analyzing the advanced tracking stats from recent season I...

Bonds ultimately played in the era where it was easiest to Homer, the "steriod" era. Bonds adjusted career HRs = 664 Ruth adjusted career HRs = 651 ...Bonds' ability to hit, field, and run the bases makes him, in my opinion, regardless of era the greatest baseball player of all-time. Does everyone ...

Each player is ranked according to individually estimated contribution, or Value Share. the league first kept track of minutes in 51-52. from 51-52 to 58-59 a full 4.5% of the regular season minutes of league history (5152-1516) was played, yet of your top 400 career ranked players there are only 6...

I think it makes much more sense just to scale scoring & TS% in general (general pace & defense), but not threes or free throws or 2pt FGs. It's like if you scaled Babe Ruth's home runs back in 1927 to today's game - and credit him for 127 home runs that season, obviously horribly skewing his relat...

After my league adjustments, which account for pace among things, my assessment of Centers between 1950 - 1980 shows the NBA progressed in quality each decade. I indexed each decade from 1950 for 1990s league levels. This factor results in a significant decrease in rebounds: Bill Russell's career RP...

I found many interesting results, and thanks for the question bro. 1.) Bill Russell, a player ranked in many top 10s ranks 67th on my list. Russell finished with 170.02 Total Value Shares, a career ranking 32nd all-time. Dwyane Wade will likely overtake Russell next year. I had to estimate blocks, s...

Stating the Obvious: In order for someone to be overrated they absorb a certain amount of hype to begin with. I've now posted a couple of threads related to Kerr and the Warriors because of all the hype generated by sports journalist around him. smh In Steve Kerr's case, article after article that I...
